Document background
Annual General Meeting Minutes are essential corporate documents required under Canadian corporate law to record the proceedings of a company's annual general meeting. These minutes must be maintained as part of the company's official records and serve multiple purposes: they document compliance with legal requirements, record important corporate decisions, provide evidence of proper corporate governance, and serve as a reference for future corporate actions. The minutes must capture all significant aspects of the meeting, including attendance, quorum, voting results, and key discussions. Under Canadian law, whether federal (CBCA) or provincial, companies must hold AGMs within specified timeframes and maintain proper documentation of these meetings. The Annual General Meeting Minutes become particularly important during regulatory reviews, corporate transactions, or legal proceedings where evidence of proper corporate governance is required.
